Identity: Dr. Doom

File code: VDD

Alignment: Supervillain

Affiliation: Latveria, Formerly Empire State University

Private Identity: Dr. Victor Von Doom

Age: 40s

Hair color: Brown (Alleged)

Eye color: Brown

Ethnic Background: Caucasian

Base of Operations: Latveria, Latverian embassy

People of interest: Reed Richards (Nemesis, Mr Fantastic), Susan Richards (Invisible Woman), Johnny Storm (Human Torch II), Benjamin Grimm (The Thing), Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Silver Sable (Political Frenemy. See files VDD-016, and HSI-008)

Usual Enemies: Reed Richards and the rest of the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Dr. Strange, various heroes and villains

Abilities: Supergenius in robotics and theoretical physics, known to have built his Doombots, power armour, and various technological feats, thought to be too early for such technology. Has a high proficiency in magic, allegedly time travels to learn about magic. Armour grants various technological enhancements such as super strength, an electrical field for a variety of effects, teleportation, force fields, and lots of lasers and rays. His magic gives him a variety of abilities, such as magical blasts, amongst various effects. (Not known what kind of effects there may be. need more research.) He also wields a magical sword. (According to my contact, he doesn't like to discuss the history of the sword. If he pulls out the sword, then don't engage.) He also has the resources of the Latverian government, which is a combination between a feudal system and a Pol Pot style government; he has access to all the financial and other resources.

Weaknesses: His ego. Dr Doom has a superiority complex that is easily exploited. He likes to talk about himself, and flattering him can probably distract him for a bit, until a proper superhero comes around. (If so, contact the Fantastic Four. The number is in file HFA-002) He also has a distinct lack of imagination on what he could achieve in battle. Easily exploited.

Personal Assessment: Dr Doom is a fascinating study in certain ways, but relatively mundane as far as villains go. He has many followers around the world, that believe that he has an ideal that is better than most modern democracies and republics. An apt comparison would be the Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara. Their fans romanticize them, but they are both brutal monsters that would oppress those they deem unfit.

Doom is also an example of "Smart in the books, slow on the bus". He looks down on everyone, and a serious case of "Biggus Dickus Syndrome". He's like the jock quarterback, that picks on the nerds, but in reality is overcompensation for something. (Not that all such jocks do that. Some of them have rough personal lives that can really mess with their heads.)

Overall, Doom isn't as much of a threat as most make him out to be. He can be dangerous and reckless, so don't poke the bear, because his magic and tech can cause problems for entire teams of heroes.
